"Adrienette," Alya says "how does that sound for a ship name?"

I roll my eyes and blush slightly. "Sound great Alya, like I would happen though." I reply.

As we exit the room in our bathing suits and coverups, we are greeted by Nino and Adrien. "What's up duddettes?"

     "Not much" Alya replied.

     "Good morning" I tell Nino then remember Adrien was there. How do I keep getting so lucky?

     Alya looks at me with a surprised expression and adds "Let's get to the beach!"

     With that we head out, I glance over at Adrien and blush slightly when I notice he's already shirtless. Nino is teasing Alya, and since their preoccupied, I decided to try to talk to Adrien.

     "Uh-um He-hi" I mutter. Adrien looks at me, and I see a small flicker of sadness pass in his eyes.

     "Hello" Adrien responded.

    I wonder what goes on in his brain, if he likes me back. If he hates me, if he even likes Chloe. I am so confused by this boy, but I still love him.

Adrien's POV

     When Marinette starts stuttering again, it makes me feel sad. I thought she finally wasn't afraid of me any more. I've always wanted to be her friend and get to know her better. She seems to be afraid of me though, and I don't know what I did. Sometimes I feel I might have feelings for her, but I love Lady Bug.

    "Let's head in the water" I say to Nino, faking excitement.

    As we head into the water, I notice Marinette is very happy. For a second as I turned my head, I thought I saw Lady Bug. It was Marinette, I guess I'm really missing being Chat Noir.

    Then Chloe grabs my arm, and drags me off. I pay little attention, my eyes still fixed on Marinette.
